They presell con exclusives now before the convention even starts. It’s all a scam. Current strategy:
@spicywasabi is doing it right, these exclusives are “cons” and are meant to trick the dumbest of buyers
I grabbed a transformers exclusive at the eBay booth. And I qualified for a free gift…
what was the free gift?
The same book I had just purchased, lol!
Doh!
BOGO I suppose!
Looks like supply is drying up and price is appreciating… while demand is still strong.
But I’m not sure since I’m a slow person hanging out at the back. 
Supply is not drying up. You are slow.
Prices are climbing, fewer listings, MCS no copies listed, Midtown 1 per, no other online shops with cover price stock, etc…
And this troll comes to the conclusion supply isn’t drying up. Head in the sand if it provides you comfort, man.
The book has to be selling $30+ for me to buy a cover price book to flip.
$25 and under aint worth the time.
Sellers keep listings copies.
Ebay is getting flooded.
I see plenty of online stores with copies…
Noob
Once again, you demonstrate why your opinion is invalid in these conversations.
Can we create a “$30+ cover price flips” thread for this dude to post in?
Ha one of those in the pic is mine. I’ve sent a few to CGC and have a few more now on reserve in case this book goes further bonkers.
Usually @monopolyjackson calls comic trends pretty well but I gotta say he’s off on this Absolute Batman. I think it’ll settle at 25/30 or so.
Hahaha. I hope you are joking
No, I think $25 would be a pretty good settling point for the foreseeable future.
Not that part. The 1st statement
Midtown has plenty of copies @ $12. This was just one of their several stores in NYC.
That being said, I finally sold my first copy last night at $24. If I can sell more at that price I may actually restock when I swing by again later.
Midtown often has stock of many hot books due to their monster order size. But that doesn’t mean a book won’t trend. Thankfully, they don’t sandbag the entire market like ■■■■■-ass MCS’ one-per instant eBay uploads.
I found three online at my secret honey hole store. I ordered them and held my breath. They showed up in the mail this morning.
Brings my total to 8 copies
Just FYI…it (AB) also hit that ole app everyone loves to hate a bit late last night as a hot and trending book (not that it comes a surprise). There are folks who use that list as gospel and pay zero attention to other things.
I found a, “Mark Spears Monsters,” issue one cover A and B at a spot that seems to have more folks after hero comics with the indie stuff overlooked. I was pleased.
Was about to go hunting today for all the new champions variant covers but it’s such a miserable wet and rainy day here. Lots of rain and it’s cold on top to boot. Decided I wasn’t going to embrace the elements, will go tomorrow instead.
Then I heard the beautiful cash register sound on my mobile and see that another copy of AB1 has sold. Checked over my inventory and in a panic noticed that my inventory is drying up…
Decided to bump my price up to $30 of my other copies to see what happens… then suddenly…
What is happening? Is this a dream? I was told by the "wise " Comic Book Speculation Authority that sellers are flooding market, this ain’t no Ultimate Spider-Man the man says. “You are slow” the man says, this heading straight to the dollar bins.
I happily pack my items and drop them off at the post office to the happy buyers who weren’t lucky enough to find a copy. I know they will love this issue as it’s a great read. Perhaps they just love good comics and they don’t care about speculation. Strangely enough most of my buyers are from California. Wonder if supply is drying up there…
Bringing your A game this evening!
